While in California, Audi technical development chief Ulrich Hackenberg told reporters that his employer plans to release an electric car with a range of 280 miles "around 2017." Hackenberg wouldn't say what kind of car - or crossover, perhaps - it will be, but one report said it would be "a large car, fitting five large people with ample luggage space." Most observers expect it to be a sedan to take on the Tesla Model S.

Sources have told Britain's Autocar that the lightweight Audi vehicle - originally destined to compete against the BMW i3 and the new Mercedes-Benz A-Class - was a good engineering study, but today's lackluster global EV sales are at least partially to blame for its demise.

His title and home base are not all that's different about the man who used to tout diesel powertrains above all others.

That's not to say we were totally prepared for the quirkiness of either version, but at least the Sportback's carbon fiber reinforced plastic body was somewhat known to us.

And even though there are but two seats, we're still intrigued by the thought of gaining ingress through the back of the car.
